Well, we have been out exploring and seeing where everything is around here. We decided we have a pretty good spot, level and hard surface. Drooze is parked down in the North 40.

Looking down toward the North 40 from the tech area.

Some people have unusual exhaust pipes for their generators. We noticed a big lack of pipes here also.

This is a super gas car that hit an antelope at the end of the track last weekend in Douglas, WY. This was taken this morning while we were stacked.

This is the car tonight being repaired back in the North 40.

Looking out toward Denver from the end of our row.

Looking down the track from the end of our row.

Looking back down toward the shutdown area from up here.

Hey Redman,

I met a friend of yours today, Harold, and he said you just had a birthday.

So "Happy Birthday"! We will see you at Bowling Green and Indy

The car that hit the antelope (I think its them) has bar none the oddest haircut on a dog Ive ever seen....it was sleeping under the trailer and Spongemonkey said it looks like a lion....he was right.....what happened there ?

I have to say Ive pitted in the boonies before, in bikes and car....this is a MILE out.....and I dont have my 40mph golf cart.

I missed you I was fortunate to get to talk to Patsy but I think u were working on the car.

Youd think I was still a "Phantom" lol....of course were here and while I was a bit bummed about not seeing our eastern friends I am eager and fortunate to have met some new western ones.

Everyone lookin UTTERLY Thrilled....1300 miles takes a toll....its amazing we all got here without someone getting a homicide charge at least in our cramped vehicle.

Tommorow for the fun.... TECH....I love Tech.....Dono why.....oh well...

Look forward to seeing you tommorow.

Cheers

Chris

Larry, it was very nice meeting you and Patsy. That Vette was just purchased from our friend and T/S competitor Bob Herr. Very nice Corvette. So Antelope steaks for dinner?
It was very nice meeting and talking with y'all. We hope when things get better for the racing budget we can come back and race with you folks.
Good luck and be SAFE!

Yes, Pete I have been having trouble breathing a little. In the drive over from Sonoma, we have been at 4000-7000' since Sunday. I had a headache one morning when I woke up, which is very unusual for me. The locals told me I need to drink lots of water, which I have been trying to do (along with my wine). Speaking of wine, thanks again Barry for the wine. One bottle is gone, and I am saving the other for Jerry Bennett to try. Since his heart surgery, he has been trying out red wines instead of the hard stuff.

I just went down to check the schedule, and we run 2 qualifying sessions tomorrow and then class. Then 2 rounds on Sat. morning. If you get to the 3rd round, you will get to hear the national anthem on Sunday (we run after 2 rounds of pros.) I guess everybody out here likes to sleep in because we don't start until noon tomorrow. We run after Super Street.

I am going to try to get some pics today, so more later.

Larry hasn't gotten teched in yet. The car wasn't wanting to run at all, so he is changing jets.

More later

That first pass will be a shocker. You'll think you forgot ot put it in low gear. So much slower. Going to the Block party in Golden tonight? Really enjoy your "live from" threads and the pictures. Thank you.

Pull out the weather staion and give a reading if it gets below 6000 ft it mite be fast out there. Don,t foget to coast down to stageing lanes and if your horn works use it. Tom

Larry Hill · 07-22-2010, 02:57 PM

Well the DA today is 9600'. It is sprinkling rain, but Larry finally has the jets changed so the car will run well enough to get to tech. I haven't taken any pics today yet. Ronnie West took us out for lunch along with Steve Hagberg to a nice little restaurant in Morrison--TNT. Hey, thanks, Ronnie.

The block party is on for tonight, but no shuttle bus or Mopar giving any thing away for food or drinks. We have to see if we can get a ride.

More later.
